My name is Tachibana Yuuji, a regular student with no particular plans for the future -- until my parents left for Hawaii on a business trip last fall, leaving me in the care of my uncle in the wintry countryside of Hokkaido.

Small-town life on Japan's northern island didn't have time to get dull, as from the moment I got there I was reunited with my cousin and childhood friend Saki. She's pretty demanding, but when I'm hanging out with her and her school friends I don't mind; as I get close to them I feel like I'm finding meaning in life that I didn't know I was looking for.

Legend says there is a flower that blooms here in the depth of winter... as the twilight deepens and a snowflake melts in the palm of my hand, I stand with a beautiful girl by my side. Will we be able to uncover its mystery in this fleeting moment?

With a captivating story from veteran scriptwriter and novelist Kitagawa Samui (Erogamescape) (Wikipedia) and beautiful, subtly erotic art from doujin artist and game illustrator Shikei, G-Collections is proud to present a classic "renai" ("true love") bishoujo game. With the windswept background of the Hokkaido winter countryside as its setting, full of moments of laughter, joy, and tender passion, Snow Sakura is a heartwarming tale of romance that you'll never forget.

Characters

Tachibana Saki

Your cousin, and now housemate. Rather than a sister she feels more like another guy friend to you, which eases your transition into her circle of friends. Her house used to be a ryokan (Japanese-style inn), and she's good friends with everyone in the neighborhood. She does the cleaning and laundry herself, and thanks to her chef father she's a pretty good cook, too. Her grades aren't great, though, and academically she's a bit on the slow side.

Souya Misaki

Your classmate. She's always full of energy and is generally level-headed, but is a terrible cook. As the class beauty she's always been popular among her male classmates, but because Kozue is constantly protecting her she's virtually impossible to approach -- considered an "impossible dream" by most. Her grades are average, except for Japanese History which she learns from her older sister.

Kisaragi Rei

An upperclassman, and member of the same club as Misaki. She's a model student, serious and dedicated, but not too hard on others. In other words, she's like the perfect older sister. Has a great fondness for mahjong, and often makes analogies to mahjong in conversation. Naturally, her grades are at the top of the class, making her the apple of the faculty's collective eye. Her family runs a Shinto shrine, and during the New Year's holidays she helps out as a shrine maiden.

Souya Misato

Misaki's older sister, and your Japanese History teacher. She's a fan of the Bakumatsu period and of Hijikata Toshizou. She's naturally airheaded, and outside of her chosen field is rather useless for anything else, though for some reason she's a really good cook. She's capable of stumbling on perfectly level ground, and has been known to fall asleep during her own lessons. This seems to make her all the more attractive, forming with Misaki the school's popular pair of sisters.

Hiyama Kozue

Your classmate and Misaki's inseparable best friend, who seems to have faint yuri tendencies. She's smart and capable, quick with wordplay and enjoys making verbal jabs that exploit others' weaknesses. There are none who surpass her intelligence-gathering capability. Her grades are above average but not outstanding, though there are rumors that she deliberately marks questions wrong to avoid unwanted attention.
